AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
852 PM EST WED DEC 23 2015
...ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS OR TORNADOES POSSIBLE MAINLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT ALONG WITH CONTINUED FLOODING THREAT...
.UPDATE...
MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO OVERNIGHT AND MORNING POP TREND THOUGH
STILL KEEP LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL GOING FOR NW MAJORITY OF CWA.
INCLUDED SEVERE MENTION AS A POSSIBILITY PRIMARILY AFTER MIDNIGHT
AS RAP INDICATING NOSE OF 500 J/KG SBCAPE MAY FINALLY MAKE A PUSH
NORTHEAST INTO THE AREA...WHICH IS ALREADY STRONGLY SHEARED
INCLUDING A ROBUST 50-60 KT 850MB JET AND A WHOPPING 500-700 M2S2
OF 0-1KM SRH. NEEDLESS TO SAY WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH TO HAVE A
GREATER SEVERE/TORNADO THREAT WITH ANY INCREASE IN INSTABILITY.
FLOODING THREAT CONTINUES ALSO...AND COULD BE A GREATER URBAN
FLOODING THREAT IF SOME OF THE LATEST WRF SOLUTIONS PAN OUT AS A
CONVECTIVE BAND STALLS FROM SW TO NE ACROSS NORTH GA WHICH COULD
INCLUDE METRO ATLANTA THURSDAY MORNING. WILL NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE
EYE ON SUBSEQUENT RUNS AND OTHER TRENDS SINCE THIS COULD
SIGNIFICANTLY RESULT IN LOCALLY HIGHER QPF VALUES. OTHERWISE MADE
JUST MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPS/DEWPTS AND PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS...

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 732 PM EST WED DEC 23 2015/
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
.FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. LATEST RADAR
TRENDS SHOW SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE PRECIP SHIELD LIFTING NORTH. AT
THE SAME TIME TSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE. WE
WILL SEE THE RISK OF THUNDER INCREASE ACROSS THE CWA AS THE REST
OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING PROGRESSES. THERE IS A RISK OF
SEVERE STORMS AS SHEAR IS ALSO INCREASING AS WELL AS CAPE. THERE
WILL BE A LULL IN THE THUNDER LATE THIS EVENING...BUT AS THE COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE
AGAIN ALONG WITH SHEAR AND WE WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDER
WITH ANOTHER RISK OF SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING ISOLATED TORNADOES.
THE RISK WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA
AS SHEAR REMAINS HIGH AND THE FRONT STALLS KEEPING HIGH CAPES
ACROSS NORTH GA. CENTRAL GA COULD SEE THUNDERSTORMS
THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH THE BETTER RISK WILL BE ACROSS NORTH GA. NEAR
RECORD/RECORD HIGH TEMPS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.
17
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH MID DAY FRIDAY WITH THE PRIMARY
FOCUS SHIFTING TO NORTH GA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD BEFORE
THE FLOOD THREAT DIMINISHES BY THE WEEKEND.
AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...STRONG MID LEVEL RIDGING CENTERED
JUST SOUTH OF BERMUDA HELPING TO MAINTAIN THE PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. THE REMNANT BOUNDARY
THAT PLAGUES US THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY LIFTS NORTH OF THE AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT LEAVING BEHIND THE WARM SOUPY AIRMASS INTO THE
WEEKEND...BUT NOT BEFORE DROPPING ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES OF
PRECIPITATION ACROSS FAR NORTH GA. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF
GENERALLY AGREE THAT SOUTHERN TN AND OR NORTH GA WILL HAVE A
RESIDUAL THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN EARLY FRIDAY THROUGH MIDDAY BEFORE
LIFTING NORTH OF THE REGION. GIVEN THE REMNANT MOISTURE IN PLACE
AS THE FRONT LIFTS NORTH...AM EXPECTING SOME AREAS OF FAIRLY DENSE
FOG TO FORM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AM...SO SAFE TRAVELS HOME
FOR THOSE ON THE ROAD LATE CHRISTMAS DAY. WEEKEND LOOKS GENERALLY
WARM AND PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY. CANNOT RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER
OR TSTORM BUT NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF STORMS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.
VERY STRONG JET MAX OF 150KTS DIVING SOUTH ON THE WEST COAST OF
THE US FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE THE NEXT WEATHER MAKER FOR OUR
REGION BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY LATE SATURDAY BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS
CLOSE OFF A PRETTY STRONG UPPER LOW OVER NEW MEXICO SETTING THE
STAGE FOR BOTH SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY SNOWS IN THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF GENERALLY
AGREE ON LIFTING THAT SYSTEM NORTHEAST ALONG A VERY SIMILAR TRACK TO
THE CURRENT SYSTEM ACROSS TX..AR..AND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THE
DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS SYSTEM IS A TAD CLOSER TO OUR AREA AND MAY
POSE MORE OF A SEVERE THREAT BY LATE MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY.
HAVE INCLUDED LIKELY POPS DURING THAT PERIOD GIVEN THE RELATIVE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE LONG RANGE MODELS AND CONFIDENCE THAT WE
WILL HAVE BOTH INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ACROSS THE AREA. WILL
CERTAINLY HAVE TO WATCH THAT SYSTEM AS IT COMES CLOSER.
WITH THE UPPER SYSTEM LIFTING NORTHEAST...WE ONLY GET A MODEST
COOL DOWN IN DAYS 6 AND 7. IT ISNT UNTIL MID TO LATE WEEK WHEN
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE ROLLS THROUGH THAT HAS MUCH MORE SEASONABLE
.IE WINTER...AIRMASS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
